Problem when copying a FM

Former Member — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:51:43 GMT

Hi,

I have to use a std FM to create a report and have to tweak the FM according to my needs before i use it. the name of the std FM is K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT. This FM calculated the Target vs Actual costs. This std SAP FM has 3 layout variants.

I tried to copy this FM to a ZFM to tweak it. When i copied it to the ZFM it did not copy the standard SAP layout variants. So i thought i will create the same variants manually and to my suprise I didnt find some of the fields for selection that are in the original FM.

What am i missing here? If my question is not clear please tell me i will try to rephrase it.

Hi ,

Would you please copy the FM again along with the VARIANTS and then check it.

Hi Pinaki,

there is no option to do that. When i copy a report i get the option to check the VARIANTS but when copying a FM it never prompts for that option.

Hello,

What do you mean by :

The FM 'K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT' has an i/p param I_VARIA which contains the variant info. I think you must be knowing this, but FYI this is also related to the i/p param I_WIP.

data: l_varia type disvariant.
  if i_wip is initial.
     move i_varia to l_varia.
  else.
     move '1SAP03' to l_varia-variant.
     move 'SAPLKKBC' to l_varia-report.

  endif.

Hope this helps.

BR,

Suhas

Hi Suhas,

>>I didnt find some of the fields for selection that are in the original FM

Well let me be more specific here. When i run the 'K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT', and get the ALV display i can choose 3 options from the 'Select Layout' button 1SAP01,1SAP02,1SAP03. and 1SAP01 statnds for Target/Actual comparison. And when i click on the button 'Change Layout' to select some more columns i get a column called Scrap Variance. That is what i need.

But when i copy the 'K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT' into a 'Z_K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT' and execute it without making any changes i dont get the 3 layouts when i click on the 'Select Layout' button. But instead i get only one option 1SAP01 and the description says 'Plan/Actual Comparison' instead of 'Target/Actual comparison'. And when i click on the 'Change Layout' button i dont see the Scrap Variance column at all!

Thanks for your inputs.

Hi Sivasakthi,

You first copy the entire Function group KKBC to a Z function group.

Then delete the other function modules except K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT.

Create the variant for the FM K_KKB_KKBCS_ORDER_REPORT if required.

Now activate the Function Group .

It will resolve the issue .
